Crack Open the Explosive Panini Stars & Stripes Baseball

There are few things better than celebrating the Fourth of July with your friends and family. Hot dogs on the grill, apple pie for dessert and fireworks lighting up the night sky as the country gathers to stare. And perhaps the best part of the festivities of Independence Day is tuning in and watching baseball all holiday long.

So, what better way is there to celebrate a day filled with dogs and dingers than preparing for the upcoming release of 2024 Panini Stars & Stripes Baseball? Just as American as the rest of the traditions above, this release affords collectors the opportunity to own cards from the next generation of superstars.

Taking the bump, and a key name to look out for, is Hagen Smith. A premier prospect that has scouts drooling like they’re staring at a fresh watermelon. His fastball has more snap than a frank fresh off the grill, blowing hitters away with upper-90 cheese. Leaving them reeling from his heater, he comes back with a devastating slider that generates a ton of swing-and-miss whiffs.

Moving from the mound to the batter’s box, this collection also features several sluggers that are can’t-miss names. From guys like Charlie Condon and Jace LaViolette to Ethan Holliday, there is no shortage of offensive firepower. Baseballs launch off their bats with the same force as top-shelf fireworks, soaring into the night sky while eliciting oohs and aahs from entranced spectators.

Of course, those guys won’t be the only notable players to be found within Stars & Stripes Baseball, as you can pull other budding stars from the Collegiate national team down to the 13U/14U Athlete Development Program and all the way to the Japanese Collegiate All-Stars and Chinese Taipei national teams!

The program also features the ultra-rare and fan-favorite Kaboom! Insert as well as incredible USA Patch cards and other exclusive parallels that rival the beauty of a firework-laden sky such as Velocity, Black Velocity, and Gold Velocity.

Capping off your Fourth of July is the dessert to top all desserts: a classic s’more by the fire. Much like s’mores’ delicious and ooey-gooey flavors, this program also has something oh so delectable. While they aren’t edible, look for Super Prime materials including Fielding Gloves, Batting Gloves, and USA Flag Patches.
